How late is your hill going to survive?

"Monsoon Jerry" is about to wash Wisconsin into the great lakes... I'm doubting that anything is really going to make it to St. Patty's (March 17). Making the most out of the final stretch.

What is it looking like for your hill/region?

.CJ.Mt. Hood Meadows could easily last until early June, but they will probably decide to close in April...


They better be open late. After seeing what they were working with last year, this season literally could last forever

My hills were either closed or barely open with shitty conditions for 3 months now, but last week it dumped quite good and now we have some perfect spring conditions for the weeks to come. But due to the seasonal contracts, one hill is already closed and some will close in 2 weeks. The biggest resorts might stretch to early April though, but it sucks when you had a bad season and only less than a month left with finally some good conditions.

What the hell. Granite Peak is going to be open until April 10th now... that is unbelievable.

I took two weeks off because of a bad Achilles, and a short vacation to Marco Island because I thought the season was over. Then they got 10" of fresh. Even got my annual end of season base grind, and put a protective coating of wax on my skis.

Coming out of retirement, bitches.

My hill has been going for 72 years and is on its last legs with the bentonite clay that causes the hill to slide down every year when the snow melts. So go watch the Bitchin Edit 3.0 that's dropping tomorrow thats filmed 100% on the valley ski hill.
